once again, cinemas in singapore are raising their ticket prices, now up to $10.50 for their weekend screenings. @#$%^&*!, i wouldn't be surprised if it continues to increase even further in time to come. c'mon loh, im sure that isn't the only solution to the claims of higher costs in film rentals right? implementations like that are only encouraging more people to turn to piracy. what a rip off. it was only a couple of years back that ticket prices were $7 and the empress threatre at clementi was only $5 on weekdays...rocks (everyday also can watch). looks like i'll be catching my movies on rented dvds and over the internet from now onwards.

speaking of that, it wasn't too long ago that a taxi fare from school to home would cost around $9. now, its $16 and thats off peak. like wtf? so much for top country to live in.
